Afternoon all,

    I picked this up today in a flea market, the seller had no idea where it came from as it was in the place when she took it over. So sorry I have zero info.

It seems to be a real fossil and not a fake, even if it isnt real I only paid a few pounds for it!

 

Cheers in advance.

I note you are in England, but your piece has the appearance of a White River Formation fossil from the USA. It seems to be an Oreodont mandible. 

 

Edit: It is most assuredly real, that is, an authentic fossil. For fun, shine a short-wave UV light on the teeth.

Oreodont and real, nice for a few pounds!
